Teachers, if you have a GHP student who you nominated in Agriscience or
Environmental Science, then they should have received or be receiving a
letter in the mail to them at home inviting them to the tour at UGA in
Athens. This is not part of the judging process, but a great chance for
them to meet some of the other nominees and to tour campus. Please check
with your student and have them to RSVP right away to UGA and let them
know if they are attending or not attending. Below is a copy of the
letter sent to them. The tour is on Friday, Feb. 9. Their interview time
will be on the following day - Sat., Feb. 10 at Clayton State College. The
time for their interview is posted on the State DOE GHP website. They can
check the time and other information for them at this site. Slacks and
button down shirts are recommended for the tour since we will be taking
individual pictures of them for the newspaper. Please, no jeans or
t-shirs or caps. Thanks for passing this information on to them.
